Presidio Trust July 29, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Presidio Trust (Trust) is considering two approaches to limit vehicular use of a portion of Battery Caulfield Road in the Presidio of San Francisco (Presidio): (1) Limitation of vehicular use during weekday peak AM and PM hours, 7 to 9 a.m. and 5 to 7 p.m., as well as on weekends (Alternative 1); or (2) limitation of vehicular use at all times (Alternative 2). The proposed limitation on vehicular use is intended to reduce the amount of cut-through traffic to maintain public health and safety, to protect environmental values, to protect natural resources, and to avoid conflict among visitor uses. By restricting the use of Battery Caulfield Road, the Trust also intends to reduce the amount of traffic through the 14th and 15th Avenue gates. Under both Alternative 1 and Alternative 2, designated vehicles (e.g., emergency vehicles, PresidiGo shuttles and designated Presidio residents and tenants) will continue to have unrestricted access to Battery Caulfield Road, and access by pedestrians and bicyclists will remain unrestricted. The Trust invites comments on both of these proposed limits of public use.
